My great uncle William James Passell (although he may have spelt it Parsell or Parcell) was born in Offley in 1889. He moved with his parents and sibblings to Loughton Bucks before emigrating to the USA where he eventually died in 1975.
He married Anna and had two daughters Harriett who married Adels and Edna who married Nelson.
I met him when fairly young because I remember being very disappointed that he wasn't wearing a cowboy hat.
Does anyone know how I might find out more? I have tried the obvious but no solid leads.

Thank you for your post. I am sorry I should have said that I have traced the family in the Uk back to 1748 it's what happened to William in the USA which is my problem.
I am grateful for the 1901 details though as I"did" this bit of the family before that census was available. Possibly even before the 1891 census as I also hadn't recorded that William was missing. He was possibly in the process of moving his business to Loughton. I will have to search there.
thanks again
David

Hi Allan.
Yes please to your offer of the 1891 census entry for Thomas Parcell. I have those for 1881 and 1901.
Thomas is in fact William(snr)'s elder brother. He ran a shoemaker's shop in Stony Stratford, Bucks and his wife a grocer's shop. The fact that William went there first is an interesting turn of the wheel. My mother was William's grand daughter through his daughter Clara and was born in Stony Stratford, both of her parents coming from Loughton and moving for work in the Wolverton Carriage Works.
Many thanks
David

Thanks Allan,
It's interesting how every piece of information raises two more questions. Thomas's eldest son who in 1901 is a shoemaker in Loughton is missing from this census as is his sister Lizzie. Both are over 21.
regards
David
